Behind-the-Scenes Secrets from Bravocon

Bravo’s biggest stars proved that the drama never stops at the fourth-ever Bravocon over the weekend.

The convention, held in Las Vegas, kicked off on Friday, drawing approximately 30,000 fans this year.

While plenty of tea was spilled on stage and live streamed on Peacock, the real bombs were dropped once the cameras went down.

From shocking Real Housewives feuds to embarrassing snubs, Daily Mail was on the ground in Vegas to catch all the action you didn’t get to see…

Snubbed at Soirée 

While Bravocon didn’t officially start until Friday, most of the talent and VIPs arrived in Vegas on Thursday to start partying early.

Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Margaret Josephs kicked things off by throwing a bash to celebrate her mocktail line Soirée, with Melissa Gorga and Jen Fessler both attending.

However, Jersey OG Teresa Giudice was left off the guestlist, despite the Skinny Italian author conveniently making amends with both Melissa and her estranged brother Joe after years of family feuding.

So far, Teresa hasn’t been included in any test filming for RHONJ’s upcoming fifteenth season, which Daily Mail hears could be a revamped version of the show featuring new cast members with a few veterans thrown in for good measure.

Margaret and Melissa are two of the vets who have been included in test shoots, which has left Teresa feeling antsy about her future on the show.

Margaret has been hoping to see Teresa ride off into the sunset for good, but she may not get her way now that Teresa and Melissa are friends again.

Melissa was gushing about the family reconciliation at the Soirée party and is hoping for the Gorgas and Giudices to spend the holidays together this year.

This hasn’t gone down well with Margaret, who seemed ‘disappointed’ by the news at her Soirée shindig and later made it clear during press interviews that she’s unsure about Teresa’s intentions.

Fan frenzy 

Most of Bravo’s biggest stars stayed at the Four Seasons, which ended up turning into its own mini Bravocon.

Once people found out where the talent were holed up, the lobby and entrance of the luxury hotel were filled with throngs of fans desperate for a moment with their favorite Bravolebrity.

The bar was cordoned off for guests only, but some of the more diehard Bravo fans were clever enough to book a room at the Four Seasons, giving them almost unfettered access to everybody from the Real Housewives to the McBee brothers.

Some fans didn’t even buy tickets to Bravocon, and instead focused solely on stalking the Four Seasons.

While most of the talent were more than happy to mingle with the masses, the nonstop barrage of selfies and chitchat started to wear thin on a few.

‘I’ve been on my feet all day and now I can’t even get back to my room without taking a thousand f***ing photos,’ complained one West Coast Housewife.

‘I feel like Michael Jackson when he dangled his baby off the balcony,’ joked another.

Other Bravolebs were scared that they might get caught misbehaving and end up on the blogs.

‘We’re all drinking and partying and sneaking into each other’s rooms. The last thing I need is to get secretly recorded by some fan and blasted all over social media,’ said one exacerbated bar star.

Summer split? 

It’s no secret that Summer House stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are having marital woes, but things seem to be even worse than fans realize.

Outside of a Summer House panel and some joint press commitments, the couple completely avoided each other all weekend. 

Amanda was noticeably absent from Kyle’s DJ gig at Hakkasan, even though a number of stars from Summer House and Vanderpump Rules hit the club to support him.

The next night, Amanda skipped a private dinner at Boa steakhouse that Kyle was at with The Valley cast, leaving many wondering just how long their marriage has left.

Block party

After they were done with their Bravocon duties on Saturday, a number of Real Housewives stars and one Vanderpump Rules OG hit the New Kids on the Block concert at the Park MGM.

While they were all given VIP treatment, one star overestimated her celebrity status and attempted to march backstage to hit the green room with the band – only to be swiftly stopped by security and refused entry.

Furious that she’d been snubbed, she then whipped out her phone and made an angry call to her manager.

The star didn’t make it the NKOTB after party with Donnie Wahlberg and instead headed back to the Four Seasons to hang with her castmates at the bar. 

Sweet little lies

One Orange County Housewife who has had some trouble with the truth got herself in hot water yet again.

Nervous about being alone because she’s on the outs with so many of her co-stars, she invited some friends to join her at Bravocon with the promise of free hotel suites so that they wouldn’t have to pay for their stay.

Imagine one pal’s surprise when he arrived in Vegas and discovered that the free room he’d been promised was no longer available. 

The controversial OC star then spent the weekend mingling with every Bravolebrity she could find, making little time for her less famous friends. 

A nasty rumor

The truth behind one of the nastiest Real Housewives fights of 2025 was revealed backstage at Bravocon.

One Housewife shockingly accused one of her castmates of antisemitism during an off-camera spat during a cast trip.

The incident was investigated by Bravo, but they found no merit to the claim and ultimately decided not to include it on the show in a bid to protect everybody involved.

Most of the cast also thought that bringing up antisemitism was completely uncalled for and have rallied around the affected cast member in support.

The aftermath of the incident is still being felt months after filming and the feuding cast members were kept apart during Bravocon to prevent another explosive clash.
